I'm all about the TX-22 Compact, love mine... I also have a Gen 2 T.O.R.O which I also love (but haven't shot yet)

IMO TX-22 compact! Nary an issue with mine and it's used hard!

 

We own a couple TX22 gen 1’s. We like them, the adjustable sights and the barrel have been the weaknesses. Both seem to have been addressed in the latest version. Reliability has been very good with ours. Accuracy has been acceptable for a home defense gun but not as good as a trail gun.

Looking forward to some honest man on the street reviews on the gen 2 before I decide to purchase one. I did ask my LGS for a price last week on a gen 2 TORO.

 

Also a G1 TX22 owner, waiting for the G2 conversion kit to get back in stock. I run the Lakeline LLC barrel, and its worth the cost. I like the ability to use Glock sights and/or optics with the new model, the rear sight on the G1 model sucks.

 

I have what I assume is a gen 1 full-size in FDE, got it used but seemingly not shot much, if ever, for about $250. It’s been reliable and accurate.

 

No opinion

 

Shot my new Gen 2 TORO today… I really like it. Precise trigger reset and a finger bump on the frame… all of the guys at the range wanted to try the Gen 2 out. It was nice glad I snagged it

 

recently shot the Taurus TX22LR GEN 2.
What a pleasure to shoot
The owner of this Taurus is aware of my medical condition and new recoil sensitivity
He suggested for me to investigate the Taurus TX22 gen 2
LCR 22LR or 22wmr

Your thoughts-?
Thank you

I have an early TX22, and after replacing the barrel, it has been good.

I have other pistols I prefer for plinking, but the TX is one of the more reliable.

As far as EDC goes, I don't personally think any .22 is adequate.

If the TX22 handles very similarly to a Taurus 9mm, so training with the TX would be very similar to the other, I would look into that. In a defense situation, firing a few shots from a 9mm, even if painful (I doubt you would notice during the encounter), would be much better at stopping a deadly threat than any .22. Because it's rimfire, most .22LR ammo isn't as reliable as typical CF defense ammo.

Not very familiar with 22 WMR though.

There are reduced power 9mm defense loads as well, which may make a 9mm bearable to train with for you.

 

I would never choose to carry a rimfire round for self defense just because of the reliability factor. If forced to do so it would be a quality revolver where a second trigger pull brings up a new round. That said I've shot the TX22 for several years and recently acquired the Gen 2 version. I like.

 

I've had the Competition SCR version (gen 1) for a couple years. I probably had a few hundred rounds through it up until this last summer when I started shooting Steel Challenge. I have somewhere around 2,000 rounds through it just this summer. It's been very reliable, and plenty accurate. Through the summer I added Tandemkross Eagle-eye sights, and trigger, made a lighter trigger spring, and added a pic rail mounted thumb rest that I 3d printed.

 

I have a GEN2 Toro and it is very accurate and my favorite pistol! I put a reduced power trigger spring and it is marvelous.

 

I have a Gen1. I wouldn’t buy it again. Maybe they improved the barrel and rear sight in the gen2. Mine was reliable, but not accurate.

 

Got a gen2 TX22 on a whim with no expectations. Actually really like it
Trigger is meh, but it has been reliable with better accuracy than expected. Fun!

 

I picked up a TX22 Compact a few weeks ago with the optical sight. Put over 100 rounds through it without any issues. Best part was the extra magazines from Taurus, the rebate.

 

There's no ammo reliability issues with 22LR if you carry it with premium ammo, the same as you would with any other caliber for CCW. I've never had any rounds of Stingers, Velocitors or Punch fail to go bang.

 

My daughter and I each purchased a Gen 2 TORO 22LR recently. No issues other than with the 22 round mag (both guns) with FTF, even with less than a full mag. Typically happens with the second round in both mags, repeats somewhat randomly, and frequently. We have tried to find instructions online to clean these two mags but no luck so far - they don’t seem to be made to disassemble and clean. Taurus does have a 3x 16 round mag free offer that I was able to get quickly, btw. I will reach out to Taurus to get magazine disassembly instructions and/or see if there are any warranty claims I should file - will report back what happens.

YouTube to the rescue.

 

The Taurus TX 22 is probably the best bargain on the market right now.

I own 2 of em and I may be adding another Compact to my collection.

 

I love mine, although it's not exactly configured the way it left the factory.

 

How rude of me, I didn't realize this had evolved into a pic thread.

 

Tried it on two separate mags today after finding the snaps - no joy! Will try again tomorrow - think I will need a larger baggie to put the mag in before I do that or risk loosing the springs!

 

I have both the Competition 5" and Compact 3.6" TX-22 pistols, both with red dots, and they've been better than all my Ruger Mark5 and S&W Victory pistols.

My first was the Competition 5" and it never misses a 6" plate @ 53 yards, single handed - and I suck with handguns. That immediately prompted the purchase of the Compact, which is also excellent, just not as pistol long range accurate for me as the Competition, but good enuf to dump a mag full of Federal Punch bullets into a torso sized target at 24 yards.

FACT.

Glad to see some else realizes the Ruger Series isn't some 'holy magical pistol' that instantly turns shooters into 10-ring experts. You don't need to spend the extra money. They're all just a bullet and a barrel, along with the skills of the shooter.

 

Great guns, you won’t regret it.

 

I like mine. I got it when my PT-22 slide broke and since i was discontinued, they gave me credit for another pistol and I chose the TX-22. I paid for the shipping and they sent it to a local FFL dealer where I picked it up. It works well and I like the magazine capacity. I like its reliability. It feels lightweight which is strange to me. I also got a pair of Pro Mag 20 rounders. They work well and give me more capacity.

 

liked mine so well I went and bought another. 2nd one is the competition model.
